"The local permitting process has long been on our list of business climate concerns, specifically around transparency and predictability, so we are pleased to partner with the city to bring updates and improvements to local businesses and our building community," says Katie Simmons, CEO of the Chico Chamber of Commerce. "We plan to host these Community Development updates quarterly from now on to keep pace with regulatory changes and technological upgrades within the city."

This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are requested by calling 891-5556 or emailing info@chicochamber.com. Members of the building and business communities are encouraged to attend. The chamber, city and Valley Contractors Exchange are sponsoring the event.
